My Healing Games

Chapter 233 Meat Factory

After the cleaver was broken, Han Fei's boning knife underwent a very obvious change. The cracks on the blade decreased, and the aura it emitted became colder and more evil.

"This is an evil blade that will turn against its master, wrapped in intense hatred. Not just anyone can wield it."

Most people would not use such a knife, because in a life-or-death struggle, a hesitation of a fraction of a second could be fatal.

If your most trusted knife malfunctions at a critical moment, the consequences could be fatal.

Han Fei wasn't too keen on using the knife, but he had no other choice.

Putting away the boning knife and the mask of the one-eyed pig-faced monster, Han Fei grabbed the branch Xu Qin had given him and tried to use the system to examine the pig's heart pierced by the branch.

"Pig's Heart Soaked in Blood: This is a dish made with advanced culinary skills and various special ingredients. The culinary artist must have recently made a breakthrough, as her food has become even more delicious. There is a 60% chance of being cursed after consumption, a 35% chance of accelerating the recovery of physical injuries, and a 5% chance of triggering an unknown reaction."

"Xu Qin's gift is indeed good." Han Fei felt that he and Xu Qin had a good understanding. Eating Xu Qin's food might be cursed, but his luck stat was very high, so the probability of being cursed was normally very low.

After putting all the pig hearts into his inventory, Han Fei turned around and saw that Xu Qin still hadn't come out of the old house.

"Xu Qin?"

Looking at the pig-face mask that Xu Qin had slashed to pieces on the ground, Han Fei suddenly realized something. He hurriedly ran towards the old house not far away with the black python.

The wooden door was half-open, and the courtyard was covered in bloodstains, as if one had entered a blood-red world.

Knife marks are visible everywhere on the walls and trees, indicating that a brutal battle had taken place in this courtyard.

"It seems that Xu Qin must have completely lost control once. When I was tracking the one-eyed pig-faced monster just now, I heard chewing and swallowing sounds. Xu Qin only eats frantically when she loses control."

Follow the blood-soaked path into the hall. On the back wall of the room, a line of blood-written words reads: "All the butchers are chasing me. Follow me, and you will die. Head south, and don't look back."

Han Fei searched the entire house but couldn't find Xu Qin. He looked at the blood-written words on the wall, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting Xu Qin left on her own door on the fifth floor.

"Is Xu Qin afraid of implicating me? What exactly did she do that made her the target of all the monsters?"

Xu Qin may have her own reasons; the fact that she hasn't returned to Xingfu Community already speaks volumes.

"The blood mist is drifting from the north side of Animal Alley. Xu Qin told me to go south, so it seems that the north side is the most dangerous place in Animal Alley." One of the reasons Han Fei entered Animal Alley this time was to change his profession. If he wanted to obtain the hidden profession of Midnight Butcher, he could only go to Butcher's House, which is located at the northernmost part of Animal Alley.

"Most of the butchers are chasing Xu Qin now, which is an opportunity for me. I can only help her if I quickly become a midnight butcher. Fortunately, I returned the knife to her in advance, and her curse has become complete again. She should be able to survive this ordeal."

Instead of leaving immediately, Han Fei waited until he was free to exit the game before leaving the old house.

"If you encounter danger, just focus on escaping and don't worry about me." Han Fei stroked the black python's head. Ever since meeting Xu Qin, the black python had become somewhat depressed, seemingly because Xu Qin hadn't recognized it. "You've changed quite a bit now, so it's normal that she didn't recognize you."

Not to mention Xu Qin, even the system couldn't identify what this "black python" actually was.

Han Fei is now only one step away from obtaining the hidden class, and he is unwilling to give up. Taking advantage of the freedom to exit the game, it is a good time to explore further. In addition, he also wants to find out what happened to Xu Qin and why she is wearing that pig-face mask.

"The system reminded me that if I want to enter the Butcher's House, I must remember to wear a mask. Could it be that Xu Qin entered the Butcher's House before?"

"I also heard the barber and the owner mention the word 'butcher' in the dumpling restaurant. Although the barber didn't turn into a pig-faced monster, it seemed like he was working for the pig-faced monsters, helping them hunt something."

Clues surfaced in his mind, and after careful recollection, Han Fei came up with a conjecture: "The pig-faced monster, the barber, and Xu Qin, they all seem to be searching for someone."

Having adapted to Animal Alley, Han Fei now wants to find out what happened there. He not only wants to become the Midnight Butcher, but also wants to see the twisted world inside Spider's heart.

"Spiders and butterflies are mortal enemies. Only by seeing a spider can I better understand butterflies and know their weaknesses."

After adjusting his state, Han Fei entered the blood mist.

The closer you get to the north, the thicker the blood mist becomes.

Corpses and tattered clothes were piled up in the corner, and blood-stained items could be seen everywhere.

"What a crazy place."

The number of pig-faced monsters in the blood mist had increased significantly. They were all driven by hunger, carrying all sorts of knives, breathing heavily, and staring with scarlet eyes as they moved through the alley.

Compared to the monsters on the outskirts, the monsters here were stronger and more ferocious, but Han Fei noticed something very strange.

Despite seemingly losing all reason, the pig-faced monster surprisingly doesn't choose to kill a living person upon encountering them.

They often torture their prey until they are on their last breath, and then they drag their prey into the depths of the blood mist.

Han Fei had seen pig-faced monsters dragging living people more than once. Their self-awareness seemed to be completely dominated by something, enduring the desire to eat in order to send their prey somewhere.

This contradictory behavior caught Han Fei's attention. Taking advantage of his ability to exit the game, he directly followed behind a certain pig-faced monster.

The strong smell of blood in the mist masked Han Fei's true aura, and coupled with his passive ability to play hide-and-seek and his cautious nature, his opponents never discovered him.

After passing through several alleys, Han Fei memorized the route he had taken; if all else failed, he would choose to retreat.

The blood mist grew thicker and thicker. Strangely, even in such a terrifying place, the screams of the living could still be heard. It seemed that even in the most desperate places, there were people desperately trying to survive.

How many people are still alive in Animal Alley?

The narrow alley gradually widened, and Han Fei followed the pig-faced monster for a full half hour before the scene before him finally changed.

At the end of the alley, Han Fei saw a huge meat processing plant!
If the alleyways filled with corpses and garbage are likened to blood vessels, then the meat processing plant is like the heart of the entire Animal Alley, and the blood mist that shrouds everything emanates from the depths of the plant.

Han Fei involuntarily stopped in his tracks. He found that when he faced the meat processing plant, all sorts of desires in his heart were stirred up, and all the worst memories came flooding back, crowding into his mind.

There seemed to be a voice in the meat processing plant tempting him, urging him to let go of his inner constraints and let his animalistic instincts take over his body.

"The new meat processing plant in the northern suburbs of Shanghai?"

Upon discovering the meat processing plant, Han Fei immediately looked around. In reality, the meat processing plant's residential compound where the spider lived was right next to the plant, and in the Deep World, the Butcher's House should also be near the meat processing plant.

With his vision obscured by the blood mist, Han Fei couldn't see very far, and there were no other paths to take nearby.

After hesitating for a moment, he secretly slipped into the meat processing plant.

As soon as Han Fei entered, he was overwhelmed by the stench of blood and almost suffocated. The entire meat processing plant was red, and walking through it felt like walking at the bottom of a sea of ​​blood.

In reality, a meat processing plant is short for a combined meat processing plant, which, in addition to slaughtering livestock and poultry, also integrates the production of chilled and fresh meat, cooked meat products, meat development, cold storage and transportation.

To Han Fei's surprise, the meat processing plant in the deep world was no worse than the one in reality, and the pig-faced monsters' pursuit of meat had reached a morbid level.

The only difference between here and reality is that the roles of humans and livestock have been reversed.

With just a quick glance, Han Fei's heart clenched painfully, the discomfort making it hard for him to breathe.

Blood streaks drifted before his eyes, and Han Fei witnessed the most terrifying scene since entering the deep world. Deep in his mind, he vaguely recalled a bloody night from his childhood.

Something deep within his mind began to stir, but Han Fei was unaware of it at the moment; his instinct was to leave this place.

"This isn't a meat processing plant; it's hell."

Controlling emotions is a fundamental skill for actors, but even with masterful acting skills, it took Han Fei a long time to barely manage to control his emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Han Fei knew he couldn't stay in one place, so he forced himself to take a step forward.

At this moment, he was only standing near the entrance. The deepest part of the meat processing plant was the most terrifying place, where screams echoed and blood mist drifted out.

Moving deeper into the meat processing plant, Han Fei didn't dare touch anything there.

When he reached the middle of the meat processing plant, the black python suddenly issued a warning. It desperately pulled Han Fei back, but it seemed too late.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the once deserted meat processing plant. One after another, menacing black figures emerged from the depths of the plant. They seemed to have just completed some kind of mental process, and the pig-face masks on their faces all revealed satisfied smiles.

"So many monsters?"

The number of monsters inside the meat processing plant far exceeded Han Fei's expectations, and it was too late to hide now.

He quickly backed away, and as he passed a sewage discharge channel, the iron mesh under his feet suddenly made a sound on its own.

Han Fei looked down and saw a little boy waving frantically in the sewage ditch.

"Wang Sheng?"

The boy in the ditch was the same child he had saved before.

Without hesitation, Han Fei opened the loose iron mesh, climbed into the ditch, and then reattached the iron mesh to the sewage ditch.

Blood and organs mingled in the sewage, washing over Han Fei's body. He and the child he had saved before lay motionless in the sewage.

The footsteps grew closer, and the monsters in the blood mist walked over the slightly loose iron netting. Driven by hunger, they did not notice Han Fei and the little boy.

His outer garment was soaked with blood, and enduring the pungent stench and the smell of blood, Han Fei slowly moved his body.

After the footsteps faded away, Han Fei peered through the gaps in the iron netting. It seemed that the pig-faced monsters were about to begin another round of hunting.

The filthy, foul-smelling ditch became a lifesaver, and Han Fei didn't rush out.

He turned slightly to look at the little boy, and only after confirming that there were no monsters around did he dare to speak: "How did you end up here?"
